‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ Trailer Is Undoubtedly A Trap

Warner just released the first trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the second of three movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and the 125 pages of The Appendices. Yesterday, they released the new Desolation of Smaug poster to try to trick us into writing a separate post about it. Tricksy tricksy Hobbitses. Here’s the poster:

Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) stands at the entrance to the Lonely Mountain, where Smaug (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) guards his purloined Dwarven treasure. “It is undoubtedly a trap,” Gandalf says in the trailer below. “Tell me about it,” says Admiral Ackbar in the crossover fiction we just started writing.

Here be dragons. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug opens this December 13th.

was just reading about the new Frostbite engine and how every game will look the same ( desaturated colours). The same thing goes for the Weta universes ranging from the LOTR movies to king-kong, all blue and orange and hazy

So that last scene of the first movie was them standing on an elevated spot looking from afar at the lonely mountain, and I guess getting there is the last part of this second movies. So what lays in between last for at least 2 hours and a half of movie time. No giant eagles for public transport this time around ?
